In accordance with instructions from Major General W. T. Sherman, commanding military division of the Mississippi, I hereby certify that I have this day taken possession of one (1) horse in behalf of the United States; said horse was in possession of James Hart, of Savannah, Georgia, in a stable situated on Banyen street, known as Robertsville, and number not stated. No payment has been made or tendered for said horse; it will be found accounted for, upon my return of quartermaster stores for the month of January, 1865, in due accordance with section 22, Appendix B, Revised Regulations.
